Albert Littlejohn

On Tuesday, 15 September, at Aboyne Hospital, Mr Albert Littlejohn, of Braehead, Finzean, passed away at the age of 92. He wished his funeral to be from the Historic Birse Kirk where he would be buried with his late wife, and also requested the chaplain to Aboyne Hospital, the Rev Douglas Campbell to officiate. Ab, as he was known, had for much of his long life been a very fit and youthful looking man. Possessed of a quiet disposition, a good sense of humour, he was at home in the landscape of Finzean where he spent his working life. He will be sadly missed by his large extended family.

Finzean Friendship Club will meet at Finzean Hall on 5th October 2009. Hector Riddell and friends entertain. Details from Elizabeth Rose on 01330 850768.
